Analysis of the low temperature ceramics structure with consideration for polydispersity of initial refractory components

The results of computer simulation of the structure and physical properties of sintered low-temperature ceramics specimens with different volume fractions of different components of refractory components are presented. Properties of sintered ceramics, residual porosity, and shrinkage anisotropy are determined by features of packing of various fractions of refractory particles. The results indicate the determining factor of the presence of particles of the coarse fraction of refractory components capable of forming a internal skeleton of interacting particles.
